What are placements?
With heaps of enthusiasm and an objective perspective, our students can help you tackle a large complex project or many smaller ones. Our students have helped their placement employers with many diverse projects such as:
- Website development, including Search Engine Optimisation and Pay-per-Click advertising
- Modifying manufacturing machinery to improve efficiency
- Conducting feasibility studies for renewable energy generation developments
- Writing software programs
- Computer games development
